100 Day Song Challenge (Day 011-015)

Continuation of my 100 Day Song Challenge selections.

Day 011:  A song from an artist you are attracted to.  I found this category difficult as well.  I listen to A LOT of music, but I rarely look up pictures of the singers.  So, I’m going to have to go off of voice/lyric/song content/musical ability attraction rather than physical attraction, which I assume was intended for this category.  I LOVE Marcus Mumford’s voice.  Love it!  Jean and I joke that if he and Florence Welch were to have a child, its voice would be too beautiful to listen to.  So, here is Kansas City by The New Basement Tapes, which Marcus Mumford is part of.

Day 012:  A song from any dead artist.  Wow.  The possibilities are endless for this one.  So, I’ll choose With a Little Help from My Friends by Joe Cocker because it keeps playing on an ad on Words With Friends and has been stuck in my head for a week.  Joe Cocker 1944-2014

Day 013:  A favorite cover song.  Who sang the original?  Hurt by Johnny Cash, originally by Nine Inch Nails.  He recorded his version, which is a million times better than the original, about a year before his death.

Day 014:  A song with a good video.  I love Buddy Holly by Weezer’s homage to Happy Days.  And, I thought I should choose it in light of the recent deaths of Erin Moran and Mary Tyler Moore.  Ooh wee ooh…..

Day 015:  A song you hate.  Picture by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock.  I do an involuntary, whole-body cringe whenever I hear this song.
